Everything I do is in a New York state of mind. I'm indebted to preserving the sound of the city.
The toughest trail I ever ran was the Escarpment in the Catskills of New York State. This was an 18-mile race through Rip Van Winkle country, routed through boulder fields, across angular juttings of granite and along a path with an unrelenting barrage of roots, rocks and mud, all of it hidden under slick leaves and dangling nettles.
Trump University had neither a license nor a charter from New York State certifying it as an institution of higher education.
When I left, there were over 1 million fewer people on welfare in New York state than when I took office, replacing dependency with opportunity.
While I was in junior high, I wrote an entire essay in rhyme about manufacturing in New York State. In high school, I won a Scholastic poetry contest.
I grew up outside of DC, New York state, and Connecticut.
We hope that the elected officials will respond positively to a ground swell of letters, phone calls, e-mails and visits from parents. The law clearly states that the responsibility for giving a sound basic education to our children lies with New York State.
I was badly mauled by people in New York State for being against the death penalty for 12 years.
I write about all manner of things: a guy fighting aliens in the New York State Library, Antarctica, Inca civilization in Peru, the Great Pyramid at Giza, and people often ask me, where do I get these ideas from? They come from reading widely, watching a lot of documentaries, and increasingly ,as I was able to, travelling around the world.
I've lived in New York state almost my entire life, so my votes never count.
